Melitopol: during the night, the Armed Forces hit the Russian invaders

In temporarily occupied Melitopol, the Armed Forces of Ukraine targeted the bases of the Russian troops.

Ivan Fedorov, Mayor of Melitopol, shared this in his Telegram channel.

Strikes against the Russians were launched on the night of Monday, August 8. The hits were directed at the invasion forces locating at industrial sites in various districts of the captured city in the Zaporizhzhia Region.

“Tonight, high-precision HIMARS missiles fired at points of temporary deployment of invasion troops at the industrial sites in different districts of the city of Melitopol,” the Mayor wrote.

According to preliminary information, a significant amount of military equipment and over 100 invaders were destroyed.

“More than 100 Russian soldiers who were in the temporary barracks that night received tickets for Kobzon’s concert (died – ed.), and their parents already chose the model and color of the Lada car,” Fedorov said.

The Mayor also noted that last week, a significant part of the air defense systems (SAMs) of the Russian invaders were relocated from Melitopol to Kherson.

“This night has been the most efficient and demonstrated that the existing enemy`s SAM units are no longer able to resist HIMARS,” the Mayor stressed.

According to Fedorov, the weakening of the air defense creates the necessary prerequisites for a successful counteroffensive in the Melitopol direction.

On July 24, in the area of ​ ​Melitopol, during the night, the explosions in several directions were recorded, with the later reports of damages to the airfield and railway. There also had been explosions near the village of Kostyantynivka.

The railway infrastructure was hit. It was used by the invaders to transport equipment and personnel in the direction of the cities of Vasylivka and Tokmak.

On May 30, a powerful explosion thundered in Melitopol in the heart of the city, near the house of the occupation administration. That area is also the place where the house of a fake pro-Russian “governor” and traitor Yevhen Balytskyi is located.
